I Can See Your Voice (abbreviated ICSYV and stylized as I Can See Your Voice — Mystery music game show)[1] (Korean너의 목소리가 보여; RRNeoui moksoriga boyeo; MRNŏŭi moksorika poyŏ) is an international television mystery music game show franchise. It is originated in South Korea as a program of the same name.[2]

History[]

In 2012, producer and creator Lee Seon-young planned to develop a music game show. Besides with the existence of "good singers", she added "bad singers" and lip sync as format elements.[3] Also, she was originally envisioned a program that will allow anyone to be the main character regardless of their appearances, and was inspired by Kim Bum-soo who struggled to gain recognition because of his look.[4]

On February 26, 2015, I Can See Your Voice began to air on Mnet alongside with simulcast on tvN. Dubbed as the mystery music game show, it proved to be an instant success in South Korea.[5] This format comes with a "fusion of music and guessing game concepts" would later adopt to similar shows such as Masked Singer,  [ko], and Super Hearer.[3]

Due to its unique format, it was later sold to different countries, which distributed by CJ ENM and several syndicated television productions.[6]

Gameplay[]

Format[]

A guest artist (also includes a contestant) are presented with a group of "mystery singers" — some of them are good singers, and some are bad. The artist must attempt to eliminate bad singers from the group by guessing who they are without hearing them sing. They get assistance from clues by "celebrity panelists" over the course of each round. The artist will eliminate one to two singers at the end of each round and then proceeding to perform on the "stage of truth". At the end, the winning mystery singer is revealed as good or bad by means of a duet with one of the guest artists. The artist wins the game if a good singer remains at the end of the show and the winning mystery singer receives a "reward".[7]

In other franchises, a non-celebrity contestant plays the game. The contestant gets a cash prize for every bad singer eliminated. At the penultimate round, they may choose to walk away with the earned money if they think that the last mystery singer is a bad singer, or to risk it all for a chance to take home the jackpot prize, otherwise.[8]

Rounds[]

The original format of this game consists of four main rounds with varying mechanics.[9]

Singer's visual[]

  • The guest artist is given some time to observe and examine each mystery singer based on their appearance. Afterward, a muted video of each mystery singer that reveals only 0.3 seconds of their singing voice is played as an additional hint.
  • Each mystery singer is given two different identities — as a good singer and as a bad singer. Only one of them is their real identity.

Singer's lip sync[]

Each mystery singer performs a lip sync to a song. Good singers are miming to own voices while bad singers are miming to other's voices.

  • A mystery singer and a substitute lip sync to a song together. Only one of them is the owner of the voice.
  • The mystery singer lip syncs to the good singer's voice, then a bad singer's voice comes in the middle of the performance.
  • Separated into two groups, each group of mystery singers participate in a lip sync performance for one song each.
  • The mystery singers individually perform a lip sync with pre-recorded good singers' voices, and then they perform a lip sync altogether with also pre-recorded bad singers' voices.

Singer's evidence[]

Each mystery singer reveals an evidential piece. Good singers have own evidences while bad singers have their evidences fabricated.

  • A proof of each mystery singer's singing ability (i.e. photo, video, certificates, etc.) is shown on the screen.
  • Three random panelists must wear headphones to listen to the mystery singer's real voice for a limited time. Afterward, the panelist must defend the mystery singer and convince the guest artist to choose him/her as the final mystery singer.
  • The host has randomly assigned clues about the mystery singer. The guest artist must choose a clue for each mystery singer.
  • Each mystery singer has a video package to convince the guest artist, but with voices being distorted.
  • The guest artist is presented with a video recording from a studio session on each mystery singer, although the audio is distorted so they cannot clearly hear their vocals.

Singer's interrogation[]

The guest artist must interrogate to each mystery singer. Good singers tell the truth while bad singers fabricate own reality.

  • The guest artist must pick one of three given "keywords", giving an opportunity to interrogate to each mystery singer after detailing additional information about them, but with voices being distorted.
  • The guest artist must choose one mystery singer to interrogate. The host is given a list of 15 questions shown on the screen and the artist can ask any of 15 questions within the 30 second time limit before making the final decision.

Reception[]

Legacy[]

I Can See Your Voice served as a launchpad for mystery singers including[10] Hwang Chi-yeul,[11] Lee Sun-bin,[12] and Kim Min-kyu;[13] gaining much success following the show. International artists such as Sephy Francisco,[14] Ninety One,[15] and  [ko][16] also gained recognition through the program.

Controversies[]

In August 2015, CJ ENM accused two Chinese programs, God of Songs by SZTV and X-Singer by Beijing TV of plagiarism, which imitates its gameplay similar to ICSYV, therefore they were both declared as unlicensed Chinese adaptations. Despite this, God of Songs became successful due to high ratings and even trending on social media.[17]

During an interview with CJ ENM head of formats Diane Min in June 2020, it was revealed that there was a dispute with Is That Really Your Voice?, another game show format by the Turkey-based Global Agency in 2013, in which I Can See Your Voice was accused as being plagiarized from their format. Despite this, it was later adapted in three countries.[18]

Accolades[]

I Can See Your Voice was both nominated for Best Non-Scripted Entertainment Program category at the 44th International Emmy Awards[19] and Best Light Entertainment Program category at the 2020 Venice TV Awards.[20]
